Program Description

Here 24/7 is the front door to the addictions, mental health and crisis services provided by 12 agencies across Waterloo - Wellington. We will attend to the immediate needs of the person and will conduct a comprehensive assessment with the individual. Short term needs will be explored, as well as long term service options. The person's needs will be matched with the service options available within the addictions and mental health service continuum, or a link will be provided to services and supports in the community. We will do our best to understand what the person needs, and to connect them to the appropriate services. We have the ability to schedule appointments directly with 12 of our partner service providers for most services, so that the person does not need to call other providers and re-tell their story.
